*** “Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II.”
Virgin. $89.95. 1987. R.
Thanks to the imagination of director Bruce Pittman and writer Ron Oliver, this is the “Blue Velvet” of high school horror pix. Wendy Lyons stars as a demure, angelic blond who becomes possessed by the spirit of a vengeful prom queen, vintage 1957. Amusing and surreal.
